Topic: Polaris (Read 499 times)

In the past few days, both Croatian Px researcher Igor Kostalac and Canadian Px researcher Naughty Beaver have come to the conclusion that we will lose the North Star by the time Px exits our solar system.

The two videographers arrive at their conclusions by different paths: one via analysis of The Lost Book of Nostradamus, and the other via analysis of the movie Melancholia, which is said to contain commentary from an actual astronomer that the film was deliberately designed to be full of symbols foreshadowing a real astronomical event in our future. I haven't watched it yet myself, but would love to hear more from others who have. It is said to be intensely boring unless you know ahead of time to watch for hidden meanings, and from Kostelac's on-going commentary about the film, it is apparently loaded with them.

There are three stars in this trinary star system: Polaris A, Polaris B, and Polaris Ab. The North Star is Polaris A, a.k.a. Alpha Ursae Minoris. The oldest Greek myth about the star equates it with a garden containing an apple tree with immortality-giving fruit, reminiscent of the story of Eden, and of numerous legends about the World Tree or Axis Mundi, a portal between Heaven and Earth.

The movie Melancholia did start out slowly, and did seem rather dry initially, but it was recommended, so I vowed to stay the course and am glad I did. The later part of the movie I thought was dynamite. What was so interesting was that of the two sisters, Claire was somewhat of a simpering idiot who, in time of crisis, just fell apart.

But Justine, OMG, she was the total opposite and if I ever find myself in a position as she/they did, where it is obvious the end is near and there is nothing at all that can be done to save oneself, I would hope I could be as brave and innovative as was Justine. The way she helped her nephew was brilliant.

Maybe I should watch it again, as I was unaware that an astronomer's words were incorporated therein.

Thanks for enlightening us more about the film Ilinda! I wasn't certain from Igor's description of the astronomer's explanation if maybe that was included as a separate "bonus" feature of the film or not. Will wait to hear from those of you who have access to the film right now, as I don't have a copy.
